Life and Death

#1844 - The Balancing Act

Been a lot of talk over the past week here in the UK about loosening the restrictions currently governing us.. Personally, I feel like it's a bit early for a full release, but I honestly also doubted the Government also was willing to take that big a risk.. At the time of writing this, they've announced that they aren't just opening fully back up, but gradually opening.. Sadly, I'd already drawn this up by the time of the announcement, so it's going up..

It's a delicate balance indeed. Not between the economy and number of deaths, as noone can predict THAT. Politicians balance what will people think about them. They need to open because people are complaining too much. Then there will be some deaths and then they will be able to afford closing again.

here in Nebraska we're seeing cases spike, largest numbers of new cases... so open things up again. Not that they ever -really- shut down. Few business closed, restraunts are drive thru only, most schools and churches closed... but most places are still open for business.
